Child Follows Adult Habits

Dcar Mary Haworth: lily hus- band Harry thinks that if an adult is smoking or drinking. and a

child shows interest. he should be

allowed to do the same. Harry argues that if the child's curiosity is satisfied. he won't desire to smoke or drink to excess in later ycars.

He points to himself and says he never has had any esire to sneak a smoke or drink. although he smokes occasionally and drinks moderately now. I don't agree that his one example proves the rule. I wasn't raised in his theory, and I don't smoke or drink to- dlay; nor desire to do so on the sy.

Aren't we told to train up a child in the way he should go. and when he is old he will not depart therefrom?

I feel very strongly that chil- drcn learn most from parental example and teaching. as to the moral. physical and social effects of good or bad habits. However. Harry is a wry determined man and docs what he wants. regard- less.

Oddities in Dress Are Featured At Paris Show

By NADEANE WALKER PARIS iAP)-A dress which ties the wearer's hands to her side was only one oddity in the Hubert de Givenchy fashion collection shown Thursday. ilats that look like napkin rings, egg cups. popovers. oyster shells, Christmas cackers. lacks-in-the box or cactus plants had sections of the audience littering. Fashion writers had waited nearly a r..onth for the show.

Givenchy and Balenciaga. most surrealistic of French designers, decided to go their own ways sev- eral seasons ago- They now show only to buyers at the regular fa- shion season. and to the press weeks later.

The dress that ” most neck-craning today had a belt which passed through the cuff of each sleeve. literally shackling the mannequin.

The female figure is drawn and quartered in Givenchy's favorite new silhouette. Cut square down the middle and square across the hip. it is double-seamed to em- phasize its geometrical construc- tion.
